I've been definitely having a
The Perks of being a Wallflower week. I re-read the book for the first time since I was a teenager and then I re-watched the film, which is one of those films I can quite happily watch over and over again. I feel like this is a book that gets a lot of criticism for being 'too hipster' or whatever, but you know what, if it speaks to you, it speaks to you. It spoke to me when I was a teenager & parts of it still do. I think it's one of those books I'll carry a part of with me for a long time. And I'll carry it proudly, whilst wearing my oversized glasses and side-swept fringe. ;)
Carly and I are super busy working on some Christmas
Violet & Ted illustrations that we're beyond excited about. I keep throwing so many different ideas at Carly & she somehow manages to make sense of my muddled emails and create such beautiful scenes that look exactly how I've been picturing them, only a million times more detailed.
I think I'm super late discovering Lorde, I'm totally not current with music at all, but I've been pretty obsessed with Royals. She's insanely talented and succeeds in making me feel extremely old, because she's SO young. Wow.
Grey cardigans are my newest clothing love, they just seem to go well with absolutely everything - most importantly my beloved Gryffindor scarf which I refuse to be separated from for the foreseeable future. I've been trying to not wear black all the time...so I've moved on to grey and it's different but not
too different - perfect!
As I mentioned in one of my posts last week, this time of the year calls for a bright lip and my favourite is
Revlon Cherries in the Snow, which is the most perfect red-pink shade. It reminds me of Christmas, cold weather and feeling festive, so I think this wins as my favourite lipstick of all time!

DeleteStill feel pretty ashamed that I've never read Perks! I downloaded it onto my kindle and triiiiied to read it, but I didn't give it a proper chance! I'll try again, though, no doubt. Everyone loves it! Your scarf is a beaut- I've always fancied one! With winter approaching it's the perfect time!xx

I love the Perks of Being a Wallflower film so much - it's one of the few films that actually retains its character from the book :) xx
